SnowSkool graduates Max and James tell us about their gap year experience in Sunshine, Banff

3rd May 2024 Max Jolliffe and James Lindemann were SnowSkool students in 2023. Max is from Essex and James is from Australia. Both fresh out of school wanting to defer university, they met on the instructor course in Sunshine Village, Banff, became firm friends and have gone on to work together in Australia and Japan.

Currently in Australia and between seasons in their back-to-back winter seasons adventure, they reflect on their experience and tell us what they have planned next.

And one thing’s for sure, they are not ready to head back from the mountains just yet. Their enthusiasm for the SnowSkool course in Sunshine Village, Banff and subsequent work was palpable.
